Here's a text file of all the ones that I could find. Haven't verified these are all problem, but at first blush looks like they are.
Elsewhere these vars have the number of minus years as a suffix, maybe they got lopped off?
Actually, there are more, the list above just included those with the word 'minus' in the description.
Hey @miguelabarbosa this looks to be a systemic issue in variable name generation whereby differences further up the tree are ignored? In doing this my approach was to generate all names in a given table using the last part of the xpath, and then, if they aren't unique, use the last two parts, repeating until they are unique enough...
closing, will handle remnants in #12
In many cases, the variable_name is identical for variables that look at prior years. In some cases the minus one year is singular and minus two years is plural.
Here's an example:
SA_02_PZ_ARDPCTYMYEAR | Current tax year minus one year SA_02_PZ_ARDPCTYMYEAR | Current tax year minus two years SA_02_PZ_ARDPCTYMYEAR | Current tax year minus three years SA_02_PZ_ARDPCTYMYEAR | Current tax year minus four years
